I wonder how pickpocket-safe they are because the lower placement would allow someone to reach my pockets without entering my field of view. I mean back pockets and the side pockets of cargo pants also aren't safe, but those trousers usually have the regular side pockets as a safe alternative for phone & money.

#152The dismissiveness in this thread is unreal. From the comments you'd think the article only had one sentence insulting the Sanctity of Cargo Pants. If you happily wear baggy jeans or cargo pants, these are not for you and you don't have the problem they solve. It's an elegant solution to wear slim fitted pants without awful hip pocket bulges. Cargo pants are not the solution here, as they are huge and baggy and the p…
For women the problem is worse since we are too curvy to use the exact location of pockets even when clothes are baggy.
I find the solution interesting even for women. I solved the same problem by putting the pockets horizontally at the waist. I will try moving the pocket down to the upper leg.

> And I'm here to say that phone companies should make smaller phones. If people bought small phones, companies would make them.
No, because Apple wants to sell us something else than a phone. They want to sell us a vending machine for entertainment . Probably it's the same for the other phone companies.
Actual phones are going out of fashion quite quickly. People want communication devices with several usage options, that once in a full moon work as phones too.
And yes, people want entertainment too. Apple is just submitting to their customers desires.

#154Y'all are a little touchy about someone criticizing your cargo pants! Consider that perhaps his criticism hits a nerve because there is an element of truth in it - for most people (myself included as a younger person), the symbolism of cargo pants is as important as the function.
> most people Have you performed a survey? My intuition, from my own experience, is that most people are completely ignorant of the symbolism of cargo pants and use them solely for the cargo feature. I wear Eddie Bauer "Guide Pro" pants. I recommend them, mostly. I haven't found more stylish cargo pants. https://www.eddiebauer.com/p/12951063/men-s-guide-pro-pants
To be fair, no one thinks of pants that look like that when picturing cargo pants.

#155Actually - what you have done is recreated the pockets on the LuLuLemon workout gear for ladies.
If you have not seen them - women love them. And the pocket is slightly higher than yours.
(I love your design, FYI)
But go look at high-end womens workout clothes for pocket ideas too.
Also, while youre at it, the How I built this podcast with the founder of LuLuLemon is a really fascinating listen.
Personally - I am starting down the road to re-invent the backpack - and the umbrella...
Re: On Trouser Pockets
#156Those pockets look exactly like the pockets on kühl ( https://www.kuhl.com/kuhl/mens/pants/ ) pants and those pants come in all sorts of shapes and sizes not just cargo pants. I can attest to the fact that they are very practical for using for modern smartphones which have definetly become to large for front pockets.
Kuhl pants are some of my favorite pants I own, second only to my Prana pants which also have similar pockets.
I recently discovered that "hiking pants" are superior in almost every way to normal pants. They're usually more comfortable, deal with both high and low temperatures well, and nowadays have aesthetic styles that you can even wear in semi-formal work situations or to a nice dinner.

#157You've invented carpenter jeans, from the late 90s. If you want to buy a modern equivalent, the Prana Bronson jeans are exactly this. Bonus points, they come in shorts with the same Pixel XL sized pockets.

> And I view the gamer loop as about as useful as the coin pocket: purely decorative in nature. I use the coin pocket extensively: for coins, medicine, chewing gum etc.
What medication are you able to fit in a coin pocket? Everything I've ever taken is either bottled, in a large blister pack, or I need more than I could reasonably fit inside that tiny pocket
Not op but:
Lactase
Also AirPods

I suggest, as I stated in my other post, looking at the LuLuLemon pockets - specifically, having the pocket be a webbing/spandex material which cinches the contents of the pocket to the body such that it doesnt flop about and also secures the contents into the pocket.
I like the horizontal, but maybe a 15 degree angle would be best, however, do the horiz pockets get in the way when you sit?

#160What sort of pattern did you start with?
Did you DL one, buy one or make your own?
